Sheherezade Fruit Farm

Μου άρεσε We had a wonderful stay with the lovely carol, she was a fantastic host.
The campsite down by the lake was idyllic, watching the geese fly in every evening, sheep grazing nearby was perfect for a curious toddler
Facilities were clean and everything we needed and lovely hot showers! only thing that would make this site even better would be a tap at the bottom field for water access closer to our camp. I’m sure we’ll be back!

Μου άρεσε We were the only people staying on the site and the weather was lovely. The pitch by the pond was beautiful.

Δεν μου άρεσε The facilities were very disappointing. Although there were toilets at the homestead end of the site they were very far from the best camping spot.
The “portaloos ” at the bottom by the nice pond were in a very poor state. One had two portapotties inside which weren’t very clean. The second was in a disgusting state which we had been warned about. There was no water available at the pond site only at the main facilities again a long walk.
We feel these points spoil what could be a very nice.

Από τον διαχειριστή: I somehow knew that Christine would not be giving a good review but sadly, yet again, with people who give me a bad
review, she had clearly not read the comprehensive email and attachments that I sent out beforehand. How can anyone say the facilities were disappointing when 9.9 campers say they are the best they have seen on a campsite. Does anyone else have a fully fitted kitchen with hot and cold running water, a fridge/freezer, washing machine, microwave, gas cooker, kettle and toaster all for use by everyone? Answers on a postcard. Thanks Christine, I am not sad to see that you won't be coming again.

Μου άρεσε Truly breathtaking surroundings, surrounded by nature. Both mornings we stayed, we were greeted by birdsong and sheep amidst the mist over the field - quite a beautiful sight to behold! We met pigs, chickens, plenty of sheep, the guard geese and Rupert the golden retriever. Walks around the lake followed by a lakeside beer as the sun is setting is unbeatable. A pub serving food is a 15 minute walk away, next door to a village shop selling local produce. The communal facilities were clean and even included an oven and a toaster. Make sure you pick up one of Carol’s homemade jams too!

Μου άρεσε Het onthaal. Wat een lieve gastvrouw.

Δεν μου άρεσε Pitch in een schapenweide en dus met de nodige keutels.
Aangevallen en gebeten door twee loslopende ganzen. Deze horen echt wel opgesloten te zijn als er gaste´ logere´

Μου άρεσε This is a really lovely and peaceful site. We pitched our van by the beautiful lake but there is also plenty of space in the main field or adjacent to the woods. There is a well equipped kitchen, 2x principal toilet/shower room - a few hundred yards walk from the lake but through fields with views ( some people drove up).
Carol who runs the site is lovely and very welcoming.
Definitely recommend and will stay again.

Μου άρεσε Peace and tranquility by the lake, dragonflies, moorhens and ducklings

Δεν μου άρεσε The geese

Μου άρεσε The environment

Δεν μου άρεσε The geese were aggressive and bit my wife. The facilities, whilst clean, were very basic. Signage to the site itself is extremely poor.

Από τον διαχειριστή: Well, there is no pleasing some people is there?? Everybody was told about everything in an email before they
arrived and there are portaloos near the lake. 9.9 people out of 10 have said the facilities are outstanding so I really don't know what else I can do other than go and hide under a stone. Shame they have spelt my name wrong!!!!

Μου άρεσε Carol is a fantastic host and made me really comfortable. She adjusted the pitch plans to suit my van and me. The campsite is a delight with loads of farm animals and fields leading down to a lake and a sense of wild camping, Firepits made for a great camping feel. Not crowded as the fields are huge.

Δεν μου άρεσε There's nothing to dislike the place is a delight as is Carol.

Μου άρεσε Nice location by the lake which was good for groups

Δεν μου άρεσε Very wild camping. Easy to miss this campsite as there is no clear signs on the road. Facilities in the bottom field are not what we expected, there is no access to water, washing up facilities and only 2 portaloos in the bottom field. The main toilet block and water which is advertised is two fields away. The Track from the entrance to the bottom field can get very slippy and muddy which makes access tricky in wet weather.

Από τον διαχειριστή: I have now had three bad reviews from this past weekend and it is obvious that these are tainted by the bad weather on Saturday and Sunday morning. I cannot see how I can be held to blame for this and most of these campers actually booked at the last minute, clearly because the weather, this year, has been so unpredictable. It really doesn't help when I spoke with everyone on Sunday morning and asked them if they could stay a bit longer to let the ground dry out and some completely ignored that. Somewhat of a misrepresentation to say this is Wild Camping. It most certainly is not.
